Carnival Cruises Carnival Sunrise Adjusts Itinerary A Second Time Dropping Call in Bermuda Carnival Cruises' Carnival Sunrise departed from Charleston, SC as planned headed for Bermuda on Wednesday 9/18/2019. The plan was for the ship to sail to Bermuda behind Hurricane Humberto keeping her passengers safe from the wrath of the storm.
